Large-Scale, Stretchable, Self-Protective, and Multifunctional Perovskite Luminescent Filament with Ultra-High...

Lead halide perovskites possess great application potential in flexible displays and wearable optoelectronics owing to their prominent optoelectronic properties. However, the intrinsic instability upon moisture, heat, and ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation hinders their development and application. In this work, an ultra-stable CsPbX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) perovskite luminescent filament (PLF) with high stretchability (≈2400%) and luminescence performance (photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 24.5%, tunable emission spectrum, and high color purity) is introduced by a facile environmental-friendly wet-spinning technology via solvent extraction. Benefiting from the in situ encapsulation of the hydrophobic thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and the chelation of Lewis base CO in TPU with Lewis acid Pb²⁺, the CsPbBr₃ PLF demonstrates ultra-high photoluminescence (PL) stability when stored in ambient air and high humidity circumstance, annealed at 50 °C, and dipped in water for 30 days, illuminated under ultraviolet light for 300 min, and immersed in organic solvents and solutions with pH of 1-13 for 5 min, respectively. Impressively, it retains 80% of its initial PL after being recycled five times. Overall, the CsPbX₃ PLF demonstrates promising prospects in multifunctional applications, including organic dyes and tensile strain sensing, flexible pattern displays, secondary anti-counterfeiting, and hazard warning systems.
